Drama In Abuja As Striking Workers Calls Out Wike

News Update

A group of aggrieved workers of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) have chased the motorcade of the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, during a protest over alleged unresolved welfare and salary issues.

In a video sighted by this online newspaper, the workers, who have been on strike, were seen gathering to press their demands before becoming visibly agitated as Wike’s convoy passed through the area.

The protesters were heard chanting and moving toward the vehicles while calling for attention to their grievances.

Last week, the FCTA workers began an indefinite strike over “authorities’ failure to address long-standing labour and welfare demands”.

The strike has led to the shutdown of activities across major government offices in Abuja.

Subsequently, Wike took the Joint Unions Action Committee (JUAC) to court over the industrial action.

The suit marked NICN/ABJ/17/2026 was filed at the Abuja division of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) and is scheduled for today.

Court documents showed that the claimants in the suit are the FCT minister and the FCTA, while the defendants are president of JUAC, Rifkatu Iortyer, and secretary-general of the union, Abdullahi Saleh, sued in their representative capacities.
